Hello! I?m suffering with depression For more than 7 years now I breakdown at very unusual time like while cooking or taking shower or ironing clothes I don?t know why I cry so intensely but a slightest thought of anyone who has hurt me is enough to make me cry like that. I was not like this few years back, I was very happy person and no matter what happens I never cried I have dealt with lots of ups and downs in career and personal life but nothing made me so lifeless and unhappy but these days without any reason or occasion I feel very sad, suffocated and tired. I have difficulties getting up from bed every morning I need any strong reason to get up or else I do not. I don?t feel like working I resigned from work and I just like to sleep and just anything and everyday Makes me cry. I don?t like it and I did?t know what to do so I visited a psychologist she asked me to write on paper everything that has hurt me in life right from the first memory of childhood, she asked me to write every single detail about those events and then asked me to burn those papers she assured me it will work, I was very happy to know it will work but I never did what she asked me to do as it scares me like anything, just a thought of people makes me cry. Even those who scolded me. If I go through all those details I will die crying. In 20 days I tried to sit down and write so many times but I gave up so then I decided to meet a psychiatrist when he met me he said there is nothing wrong with me and I?m absolutely normal according to him he says all these things are normal he just prescribed me Depran L tablet for 15 days once a day before bed, he said it will help me sleep and it?s an anti depressant. He said you don?t need any therapy just have this tablet, now I?m really confused and bit concerned about me. I read side effects of depran l and they are scary and at the same time I do not think sleeping alone can help me. I have been sleeping forever already for days I haven?t got out of bed and slept for more than 14 hours. I don?t know what to do and whom to consult in my condition. Please if there is anything who can guide me to a right things or exercises or doctors I?ll be really grateful and also let me know if I it?s really ok to take Depran L. thank you.

Hello & thank you for your candid confession! yes, it appears from your description that you are indeed suffering from a mental health problem (may or may not be depression) The way suggested by your psychologist is indeed a good start & you should do it immediately. I'll suggest a little modification in it. Instead of looking at entire bigger picture in one go, try & break things into small pieces like write about what is hurting/troubling you for last 1 month & how you have managed to overcome it. Then just tear up the page with negative things & keep the page with how you managed to overcome the odds with you as a victory trophy over depression Regarding Depran-L, your current problem severity is probably Not going to be cured by a small dose of antidepressant, so if you can contact me (here or at clinic) we can decide on what medicine will suit you the best. Regards & all the best.
